Thanks -- well done

I've been following Wine development for the last 6 months, mostly watching for improvements for the 2 Windows applications I actually care about -- Quicken and TurboTax. Quicken has been mostly usable for that entire time period; however it's behavior has significantly improved. Far fewer hangs, crashes and other undesirable behavior. I won't enumerate the problems y'all have fixed, but the user-visible progress has been great. There's still some rough edges, but the improvements have been huge. TurboTax was basically unusable until recently -- but when I returned from a short vacation and updated my wine sources, all the show-stopping issues with TurboTax had been resolved. Amazing. The one issue in both tools that I still need to check on is both consistently ran out of GDI space, which I've hacked around with some tweaks to gdiobj.c. There was a 3rd application I've been evaluating (RentTracker) which was also unusable in mid-Feb, but which appears to work flawlessly now. I just wanted to let you know that you've made great strides recently and your work is greatly appreciated. jeff

making snoop.c not suck
by michael cardenas 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

Snoop seems to me to be an incredibly useful tool, when it doesn't crash. Attached is a patch that removes some of the functionality from snoop, but makes it crash less. Unfortunately, I still get a lot of crashes preceeded by the failure of the assert ordinal < nrofordinals in SNOOP_GetProcAddress. I tried to prevent this by adding an if statement there and returning zero if ordinal > nrofordinals, but that didn't stop the crashes. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Does anyone know why the ordinal number or the number of ordinals would wrong?

Could you, please, create a bug in Bugzilla about this and assign the bug to me? It would be great if you also include information about the build problems you have.

regsrv from ReactOS (was Re: [wine-license] Conclusions)
by Andriy Palamarchuk 05 Mar '02

> 2. regsrv32.exe from ReactOS might fix bug number 408. Steven, I think the correct corse of action for you would be to take the bug or, at least, add comments with this information. I took the bug some time ago and was going to start to work on it. I'm lucky I have not started coding before you give the complete solution. Also, as Patrick noted, we can use any application, even if it is GPL. Could you, please, provide more detailed information to the bug. If you want you can take it. Does ReactOS have any other useful applications we can use (winhelp, notepad, regedit come to mind)? Thank you, Andriy Palamarchuk __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Running SetiQueue on Wine...
by Ken Reneris 04 Mar '02

04 Mar '02

Dear fellows, I have a small program called SetiQueue, that is an add-on to the popular Seti At Home project. There has been a lot of interest for various Linux/Unix ports of SetiQueue. Instead of doing such a port I would much rather get it running on Wine. The program itself it rather basic in it's OS usage and I am sort of surprised it doesn't just run on Wine. As not having Linux myself, I would be interested in knowing if there is a Wine expert that would want to work with me in getting it running. Either through changes in SetiQueue or Wine where ever appropriate. In the end I think this would help both products be more robust. In you have any questions or interest, just reply. - Thanks, Ken

VxD's and hardlocks
by list＠vmn.com.br 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

Hi, I am trying to run a point of sale app on wine. It uses a hard lock on the parallel port from www.proteq.com . This hard lock is implemented as a proteq.DLL , proteq.VxD pair. I read the documentation and browsed the mail lists and understood that VxD's have to be rewritten to work in wine. It is impossible to run a native VxD due to low level implementation conflicts between nix'es and Windows. All VxD's are builtin so to speak. I understand that www.proteq.com supports linux. Therefore, for my windows app to work under wine without modification, I would have to create a builtin proteq.DLL that accesses the linux's libs written by www.proteq.com. Is this correct? Thanks!

Painfully slow server
by Gerhard W. Gruber 03 Mar '02

03 Mar '02

The last few days the NNTP server is painfully slow for winehq. Is this due to the movement I read about, or does this have other reasons? It takes often several minutes to retrieve a single mail.
